Operating in saltwater and humid environments places exceptionally high demands on all components. At sea or in coastal operational areas, corrosion protection is a critical challenge.

Amphenol-Air LB develops and supplies highly corrosion-resistant connectors with marine-bronze housings, specifically designed for naval systems such as frigates and submarines. These connectors are approved according to German Armed Forces defense equipment standards and meet the highest quality and reliability requirements. They are watertight under pressure and mechanically robust, reliably withstanding the stresses of heavy seas and vibration.

These solutions also benefit civilian applications in the offshore industry and commercial shipping, providing reliable power and signal transmission even under extreme maritime conditions.

Above and below deck, it is essential that critical systems such as communication and navigation equipment or weapon systems receive reliable power. Mobile generators, hybrid power systems, and power units are used to deliver stable energy and distribute it safely to subsystems.

The connectors used in these systems must handle high currents, ensure secure electrical connections under extreme environmental conditions, and be resistant to vibration, shock, and corrosion. Amphenol provides specially engineered connector solutions that meet all of these requirements: robust, reliable, and designed for maximum operational safety even under the harshest maritime conditions.

On frigates and submarines, a wide range of highly complex technologies for command, information, communication, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C5ISR) are installed in confined and hard-to-access spaces. This includes radar systems, computer systems, and displays.

These critical systems increasingly require high-performance solutions for high-frequency or fiber-optic data transmission in robust, vibration- and shock-resistant housings that are also corrosion-resistant, sealed, and maintenance-friendly.

Amphenol provides connectors that meet the demanding requirements of modern naval and underwater systems.
